Development and validation of a Trichinella Western Blot for for the certification of pigs from fattening farms (Project)
Recently, serological tests are used for the certification of pigs from fattening farms with a negligible risk for Trichinella. These tests are based on various ELISA systems which are performed as screening tests for the monitoring of farms and show a high diagnostic sensitivity. However, false-positive reactions may occur in animals what requires an appropriate confirmatory test. For this...

Isolation and characterization of the origin of transfer (oriT) of the Yersinia virulence plasmid pYV (Project)
The Yersinia virulence plasmid pYV is mobilizable by helper plasmids and can therefore be transmitted into other bacteria which might result in the emergence of new pathotypes. In this project, the DNA region (oriT) of pYV essential for the mobilization of the plasmid shall be identified and characterized. Following this the virulence plasmids of all pathogenic Yersinia species (Y....

Evaluation of production methods for salami type sausages in the framework of risk assessment to evaluate the survival or growth of pathogens and the possible mycotoxin burdden of mould ripened sausages (Project)
The prevalence and incidence of Salmonella in fermented meat products is frequently reported by several authors and some products were mentioned recently in the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed as risk products for human consumption. One product called ?Minisalami-Sticks? has caused concern, because it was contaminated with Salmonella and has initiated a foodborne outbreak in Germany. Because...

Storage of deep frozen meat with special regard to human health and quality aspects (Project)
During recent years meat was detected in cold stores by official control activities which did not satisfy quality requirements (?Gammelfleisch?). At the same time a discussion started about health aspect of stored meat beyond their shelf life. Although many scientific aspects concerning cold storage of meat have been investigated in the last decades newly preservation methods such as the addition...

Gentle waters crop protection for conservation grown fruit farming landscapes in Germany (Project)
Major fruit-growing areas in Germany as the regions of the Lower Elbe ('Altes Land') and at Lake Constance waters are relatively rich. The use of plant protection products in orchards that are in close proximity to water bodies leads, in practice, including by buffer zones and gaps in significant reduction in yield, quality and thereby threaten its very existence to some extent economic...

Obtaining alternative fungicides from marc as copper replacement for organic farming (Project)
The only currently existing fully effective and approved plant protective measures in organic agriculture are preparations based on copper compounds, which leads to accumulation of this heavy metal in the soil, with toxic effects at certain levels. One approach in organic agriculture is to support and strengthen the natural defenses of plants against fungal infections. The aim of this study was...

Collaborative project: Reduction of ascosporic inoculum of Venturia inaequalis by removing leaf litter to replace copper-based fungicides in organic apple production (Project)
The apple scab (Venturia inaequalis) in organic fruit growing is a major problem associated with this disease in order of quality and yield losses are different approaches to reduce. As part of this collaborative project is focused on the overwintering stage of the pathogen in the foreground. Hibernation site is mainly the fall foliage. Even on a winter wood is possible, in practice, however,...

Risk assessment for evaluation of STEC contamination in food (Project)
The source of infection with STEC / EHEC bacteria for humans is often unknown. Infections can occur through contact with infected people and animals, but also through consumption of STEC contaminated food. By analysis of STEC characteristics such as serotype and virulence genes we want to explore if and to what extent STEC from meat, and dairy products can be linked with human disease. Certain...
